CSUMB, Sonoma State teams have dinner together

CSUMB and Sonoma State baseball teams mingle at the Schwartz's house April 5 in Salinas.

Though the CSUMB and Sonoma State baseball teams may have been rivals on the field April 5, they sat down to dinner together at the end of the day.

The event, held at the home of Tamara and Eric Schwartz on Toro Hills Drive, aimed to bring the two teams closer together.

"We have friends competing against friends," said hostess Tamara Schwartz. "My son Garrett plays for Sonoma State and it's just great having everyone here."

With two baseball teams' worth of food from Gino's Restaurant on Highway 68 and plenty of beverages to wash it all down, both teams were chatting and mingling around the fire pit by the end of the night.
